Hi All,
I received an ITA in Sep 19th draw and have few queries in filling the application:
1. I am going through OINP with only me as the applicant (no spouse). In the Personal Details > Family section, what should be the answer for "How many family members does Ravi have?"? Originally I marked it 1 as my plan was to go alone first and then process Open Work Permit and Spousal Permit for my wife later. Is this just information of my info or does this mean I am accompanying my spouse as well?
2. Next question to above is "How much money (in Canadian dollars) will Ravi bring to Canada? Should this be 13757 (1 member) or 17127 (2 members)?
3. In Contact Details section, all the addresses since I am 18 have been asked. While I have been in India all along, I am not sure when we moved into the first home and hence do not the exact date. Will giving a random date in the correct month and year suffice for old addresses?
4. In Personal History Section, They asked for all activities for the last 10 years since I am 18. While I graduated in 2015, I started working in occupation of current NOC code from 2017. From 2015-2017 I worked in a different profession for which I only have offer letters. Would this create an issue later?
5. In the personal history section, the form doesn't show complete until you fill all months in the last 10 years. Obviously, students wouldn't be doing anything in between high school and bachelor's program for 3-4 months? Can I just leave this as unemployed? What is the normal way of filling these minor gaps between education?
6. My wife doesn't have a last name. There is only one word for given name in her passport basically. How do I enter this for first and last names?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ravi
For the personal history part, during the gaps of unemployment, I would put that I was unemployed. Were you doing any part-time work during those 3-4 months? Were you visiting family? Staying at home and helping your family around the house? Whatever you were doing, just be honest. Definitely don't leave it blank
For your wife's last name, if she doesn't have one, I would put not applicable.
For the money question, since you are only coming by yourself, I think you would only need to show funds for the 1 member of the household.
For the question about how many family members you have, I think they just want to know about your immediate family, so like any siblings, your parents, any spouse, or children. There should be a question mark beside each question that you can click on to get further information on what the question is asking. I find those to be very helpful.
For the addresses, if you have a copy of any lease you signed or contrac t or paperwork, then you could use those dates as a guide.
